Chapter 245 Canon
"King Mu shouldn't be able to come back for a while, the border of Ula Country borders Yan Kingdom, in the previous war, there were several generals trapped in my Qing Kingdom, the emperor means this time, let the eldest prince go to the Yan Kingdom and pick up the general."
"At the same time, the country of Ula tied the knot with our country, and the eldest prince should have paid a visit, so he left in a hurry, so he called me here."
Shangguan Wenze was entrusted by Nangong Mu, and he didn't want to tell her so much about the affairs of the court, but he was afraid that she would be worried, so he explained a little this time.
"How long can the prince say that he will be here?"
Ye Zhenzhen's brows furrowed slightly, it was indeed in a hurry, she had already left without even seeing her off, her eyes were lost, and her tone was a little low.
"As little as a month, as much as half a year."
Shangguan Wenze replied in a serious manner, his eyes full of clarity.
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
Ye Zhenzhen is not a person who is greedy for warmth, Nangong Mu is not all she has, she just needs to know that he is okay, so she generously bowed to Shangguan Wenze.
"Zhenzhen, it's your friend, let him come in and sit down."
Bai Shi listened outside with his ears pricked up, and heard that Ye Zhenzhen seemed to be very polite to him, so he spoke out in the room.
"No need, thank you Madame for your kindness."
When Shangguan Wenze heard this, he immediately bowed to the position at the door, and then opened his mouth to refuse.
That face is always extraordinarily white and handsome, but it's a pity that Ye Zhenzhen has never seen him smile, and he can be called a person who is colder than an ice cube.
"Then I won't force my righteous brother to stay."
The Bai family is a female dependent, and now her body is inconvenient, and it is not appropriate for the two to meet, besides, Shangguan Wenze is not close to people, so there is no need to be embarrassed for him.
After that, Shangguan Wenze bowed to Yang Yan and left in stride, as for whether he really left, Ye Zhenzhen didn't know, and she didn't have the heart to consider this matter.
Back in the house, Bai still craned his neck and looked at the door, looking forward to it like a duck.
"Mother, try this, I just bought it on the street, it's sweet, it's the most to your liking."
After sending Shangguan Wenze away, Ye Zhenzhen sent the rice cake to the Bai family, coaxing her eagerly.
"Who is that man? Why don't you come in and take a break, it's rude. ”
The Bai family was still thinking about Shangguan Wenze, and he couldn't help but feel a little blame in his eyes, and he preached Ye Zhenzhen in a very soft tone.
"Mother, that's Shangguan Wenze, the only son of King Xiaoyao, and his daughter's brother-in-law, he knows that his mother is inconvenient, so he didn't come in, so he doesn't have to blame himself."
Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly relieved, without the slightest concern on her face.
"Mother, your belly looks bigger than usual, and it seems that the child is also strong in the belly."
Ye Zhenzhen touched Bai's belly, thinking that she had another brother or sister in her heart, and she was happy.
"It's a little older than when I was pregnant with you two."
Bai Shi also looked at his stomach lovingly, and said with some puzzlement.
"Niannian is not young, I am thinking about arranging a place for her."
Yang Yan came in at the right time, looking at their harmonious scene, only then did he want Ye Niannian and opened his mouth to remind.
"Otherwise, send Niannian to a private school to go to school, a child of her age in the capital should have gone to school a long time ago."
When Ye Zhenzhen heard this, her eyes glanced slightly, and then she responded with a flash of inspiration, Niannian is now six years old, and ordinary children should also go to elementary school.
"Then leave it to you, your Uncle Yang and I don't understand this matter, and we are really powerless."
Bai was very satisfied with Ye Zhenzhen's proposal, although she was ignorant, she also knew that going to school was not a casual visit, only children of rich families and people of noble status could go.
"Leave it to me."
Ye Zhenzhen patted her chest and assured that women can be rational in reading, and in the future, Ye Niannian will not blindly obey men's decisions like the Bai family, and will have her own thoughts.
"Okay, I should go back, it's not too early, if my mother gives birth, remember to send someone to me to say, I'll come over and help."
Ye Zhenzhen looked up at the house, it was already dark, Qingju slowly lit the candles in the house, which made the place brighter, and she immediately got up and prepared to go home.
"It's okay, slow down on the road."
The Bai family still wanted to pull Ye Zhenzhen to talk for a while, but he didn't dare to stay longer when he saw the sky, so he hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, Qingju, let's go."
Ye Zhenzhen was worried that Nangong Mu was not in the capital, so in order not to cause trouble for others, she could only take care of herself.
Out of the Bai family's courtyard, a strong wind blew in the distance, and Ye Zhenzhen's face hurt, she hurriedly turned her face away, Qingju wrapped her cloak for her, and the two walked along the street to Ye Mansion.
Ye Zhenzhen watched with wide eyes all the way, the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, except for the sound of the wind sweeping the remnants of the leaves, that is, the breathing of the two of them, there seemed to be nothing around.
But when she stared closely, she couldn't help but find that there were many pairs of eyes staring at her, and it was unclear whether they were friends or foes.
The lantern at the door of the Ye Mansion was blown around, and the candles inside flickered and dimmed, as if they were about to be swept out.
Ye Zhenzhen rushed into the Ye Mansion and quickly hid in her own room, and then felt a slight chill on her body, she hurriedly asked people to make a basin of hot water to soak her hands, and pulled the green orange to soak together.
"It's very cold in late autumn, and it's almost as hot outside as it is in winter."
Ye Zhenzhen said as she looked up at the window, she suddenly missed her autumn pants and velvet pants, so in winter, she only needed to put on a down jacket.
"Miss is cold today, don't go out again."
Qingju said as she lowered the windows and tidied up the futon for Ye Zhenzhen, so she sped up to unload the hairpin ring for her.
"Miss, someone sent a post."
Just when Ye Zhenzhen was almost tidying up and was carefully taking care of herself, she heard the housekeeper in the house reporting outside the door.
Qingju went out to take the post in twos and threes, and sent the steward away, and handed the post to Ye Zhenzhen.
The autumn appreciation ceremony held in the palace, and then Nangong Lei's marriage was to be carried out in a big way, and people with heads and faces were invited to appreciate the chrysanthemums.
"It's a grand ceremony in the palace again, it's really not interesting."
Ye Zhenzhen put down the post, muttered in her heart, and complained on her lips.
In the past year, there have been countless birthday banquets for the emperor and queen mother, the Mid-Autumn Festival Double Ninth Festival, and the wedding banquet.
"Miss better go, I heard that this autumn appreciation ceremony is different, to be held outside the palace, every year by boat out, down the river all the way down, but magnificent, the people next to it do not have this kind of honor."
Ye Zhenzhen had a bored face on her face, but Qingju looked very excited, with a thick smile on her face, it seemed that she was looking forward to such a big scene.
"Okay, let's take you out for a walk, go ask Yiyi, see if the Xiaoyao Mansion goes, if they also go, just take a companion."
Ye Zhenzhen applied the cream to her face and massaged her middle finger and ring finger back and forth, and then made an exception and agreed to Qingju.
There was nothing to say all night, Ye Zhenzhen slept well, in the dream Nangong Mu and Nangong Hui had a dispute, she rushed up desperately, and she couldn't remember anything after that.
The next morning, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes seemed to be swollen and she didn't seem to be in good spirits, so Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly lit sandalwood for her.
"Miss looks very tired, but she didn't sleep well last night?"
Qingju rubbed Ye Zhenzhen's temples and asked with great concern.
"I dreamed at night."
Ye Zhenzhen tried hard to recall the appearance of Nangong Mu in her dream, but she didn't seem to remember anything.
"Pick a simple outfit and don't be too eye-catching."
Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the cabinet where the clothes were placed, and then reminded her in a whisper.
Outside the gate of the palace, the carriages of the ladies and ladies of various families were parked everywhere, and the nobles and ladies were noble, but Ye Zhenzhen did not like to integrate with them.
The so-called tree is a big wind, although Ye Zhenzhen avoided it thousands of times, there were still people who saw her at a glance.
"Isn't that the county lord of Ning'an? I heard that Concubine De's hair became black and thick because of her things. ”
Concubine De intended to show goodwill, these people were all in their eyes, and they had to lift Ye Zhenzhen, so a lady Lang immediately said to everyone.
"When did the county lord arrive? Why don't you stand with everyone? ”
A lady surnamed Li held a handkerchief in her hand and greeted Ye Zhenzhen enthusiastically.
Ye Zhenzhen pulled out a gentle smile, and then slowly walked towards them.
Seeing that she couldn't escape, Ye Zhenzhen could only bite the bullet.
"The county lord is really outstanding, I have never had a precedent for a county lord in Daqing, and the county lord of Ning'an is no worse than those county lords and princesses."
"Look at this watery face, standing together, we are all old and yellow."
As soon as Ye Zhenzhen passed, some ladies and their own girls began to praise her uncontrollably.
Ye Zhenzhen always smiled politely back, but did not answer, this is like when she was a child for the New Year, those uncles and aunts always praised how good the children were, and the words were full of water.
"The county lord and my girl are generally old, but they can come and go together on weekdays, everyone is in the same capital, and they can't help but have friends."
"Yes, yes, the daughter of Li Shilang's family is also knowledgeable, and it is a good match for you, you can also go together to enjoy flowers or something on weekdays."
"And this Miss Fujia, that pair of skillful hands, I'm afraid the Weaver Girl can't compare to her, and you can have a companion with her."
The concubine and Concubine De solicited Ye Zhenzhen in every way, and Nangong Mu chased after Ye Zhenzhen, these people are used to looking at other people's faces, and they are indescribably enthusiastic about Ye Zhenzhen at this moment.
Out of politeness, Ye Zhenzhen blessed several girls who were introduced, and greeted them accordingly.
